Soldier Field is a college baseball stadium in Dover, Delaware. It is the home of the Delaware State Hornets baseball team. The stadium holds 500 fans and was built in 1958.[1] Since 2009, it has undergone several renovations, including raising the height of the left field fence to 20 feet and adding two rows of chairback seats behind home plate.[2] The stadium field is natural grass. Additionally, the paths from home plate to first and third base are grass rather than part of the dirt infield like at most parks.[3]

The outfield fence dimensions are 320 feet down the foul lines and 380 feet to center.[4]
